The idea of the lamp comes from experimentation with models of laser cutting applied to different materials. When sheets of paper and wood are cut geometrically, once they are suspended, they take on new characteristics, by the force of gravity. Translucency, flexibility and a delicate undulated movement are the distinctive characteristics of the Illan lamp. The simple concentric cutting motif shapes wood into a three-dimensional sculptural object that reacts to the slightest movement of the air, while the warm glow of the light creates a relaxing sensation, reflecting on the wooden surface in harmonious resonance. The lamp is on the borderline between art and design, balancing functional quality, good looks and a bit of the magic we need in our everyday life
Technological innovation, research on materials and sustainability converge in harmony in the Illan suspension.
The lamp is composed of a very light body made with extremely thin, flexible plywood, cut by laser along densely packed equidistant lines. This is a precious and varying material whose unique natural character can be seen in the typical grain pattern. These characteristics are the distinctive features of the project. Once suspended from the ceiling, Illan takes on volume thanks to the force of gravity and assumes its characteristic form that floats in the air.
The highly decorative and emotional impact expressed through the intelligent and original use of materials, make it a truly special lamp. Skillful use of the LED source creates very comfortable, relaxing diffused lighting. Illan is available in multiple sizes up to one meter in diameter.
